Transgender people of reddit, what was your first experience of using a public bathroom /changing room of your preferred gender like?

When I walked into the bathroom Obama was waiting for me along with all of my friends and family. As I walked towards the stall to sit down and pee, they all started clapping. Obama teared up a little bit so I gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Silence fell over the bathroom as I entered the stall. They were all anxiously waiting to see if I would pee. If I peed, it meant winter was over. If I got spooked though, then winter would last a few more weeks. After a few moments of deliberation I started urinating.

The sound of my piss hitting the toilet bowl echoed throughout the bathroom. As my stream grew weaker, I knew that I had won. This was the moment I had been fighting for all of my life. I finished, wiped, and then flushed. After the toilet finished flushing the bathroom erupted into cheers and applause.

Winter was over... but more importantly... I got to use the woman's room. Thanks Obama.
